Checked out the bike, loaded up for a nice long day ride to try out my new MRA VarioTouring Windscreen....Temps in the mid 70's and wind out of the NW 5-10 should've been perfect. Headed out wind blowing about 15-25 (new windscreen works great!) and then it started raining..oh well, I got to ride. I really love this bike and you guys are right, the more you ride it the better it gets!

Have a grand day,

Rexford

Mmmmm...pretty! Wondering how much one of those would set me back...
About $1500 USD http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ohlins-Mono-Shock-S46HR1C1S-to-fit-Yamaha-XT1200-Z-Super-Tenere-DP011-2010-11-/251150982913?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a79c3df01] [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ohlins-Mono-Shock-S46HR1C1S-to-fit-Yamaha-XT1200-Z-Super-Tenere-DP011-2010-11-/251150982913?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a79c3df01[/url]

Ouch!

Penski is probably a little cheaper, depending on the source.

Nice write up Jap, ya had me hooked from the first paragraph. ::008::

Cheers Eric just thought I'd put something up as i'm over the moon with the difference the Ohlins as made. Been quoted £200 for a set of Ohlins springs fitted and set up so will look at getting that done when I get back in a couple of weeks time. ::008:: ::021::

Huge Costco price differences. I paid $3.84 yesterday at CostCo for Premium (Woodbridge, VA).

Oh what did I do to my S10, I rode it to work and back today.

Added some ADV Monster 60 LED lights.

These things are sweeeeet.











Not sure how well my mounting solution will work with the vibes on the bars but they 'feel' very solid so I think it will work.

Those look great. I just wish I was riding behind you to pick them up....(hint)

They're on there pretty tight... I didn't have any nylon nuts so I'll use those before doing any long distance stuff.

Whereabouts in Tennessee are you basing out of? The wife and I are heading out tomorrow morning for the Helen, Ga. area for a few days. She's driving, I'm riding, and we plan on day-tripping around the N.Ga./N.Carolina/S.E. Tenn area on the bike.

I would put metal bracket between mounting bolts for hand guard and mounting bolt for the light.

I agree. I don't think the plastic hand guards are a very stable platform for lights as is.

Whats better than fresh rubber? Well besides that

William did you ever work on that scott steering damper? I talked to scotts about six months ago and they said they would get around to making a mount but haven't heard or seen anything yet. I don't want to weld my frame with their universal mount. Maybe one day enuff S10 will be sold that they will make one
